  Former coach Paul Chryst's staff had months to recruit Braelon Allen, to convince the standout from Fond du Lac High School that Wisconsin was the best place to realize his dreams of playing college football. New head coach Luke Fickell had days to recruit Allen, to convince him that staying at UW was the best option for the tailback's third and perhaps final college season. "We talked about his potential, his development of what he could do, hopefully, in the next 12 months," Fickell said. "He is a really young kid. But most of our conversations have been getting to know each other. "I asked him to have that blind faith, to trust us and believe (in) us, in what we're going to do and how we're going to do it. "To me, it is all about: Do they really trust you? So spent a little bit more time with him in particular. Just going through his history. How he ended up in college at 17 years old and things like that. "I think we have a pretty good connection and I'm happy to say I think he believes and trusts in what we're going to do."

Allen obviously liked what he heard from Fickell because he decided to return to UW in 2023. "Everybody has got to buy into that, with a new staff," Allen said Thursday after bowl practice. "A lot of it is having trust, trust in him knowing what he has done with past teams...It was just getting to know each other, building that relationship." Allen, who rushed for 1,126 yards and 10 touchdowns in 11 regular-season games, talked to Fickell about myriad topics. - Journal Sentinel
